Vietnam

Now, I am in the historical country of Vietnam! Vietnam is known by the people in the U.S. becuase of the history of the terrible war called the Vietnam war, when many people died. But there are things that arent all terrible to hear about Vietnam. Vietnam won its first indepence from China in AD 938, until it was colonized again by the French in the mid 19th century. Finnaly the efforts of resistence of the French drove them out, and the official flag of Vietnam was made, and the final independence was gained in the mid 20th century. The Flag, consisting of a red background, which represents the loss of blodd when gaining their independence from the French, and a yellow, 5-pointed star in the middle, which represents the union of workers, peasents, soldiers, intellectuals, and young people working together in the country. I have brought back a flag to the U.S. along with the things from Indonesia.
